100-micron survey of the galactic plane.

A survey of a portion of the galactic plane has been carried out at a wavelength of 100 micron with a beamwidth of 12 min. The survey covers 750 square degrees of the sky including most of the galactic plane between 335 and 88 deg galactic longitude and a number of other selected areas of interest. Seventy-two sources have been detected, 60 of which are identified with continuum radio sources, bright nebulae, dark nebulae, and infrared stars.

Spectrophotometry of the 1.5-micron window of Jupiter.

The limb darkening of the 1.5-micron region and the variations of ammonia and methane absorptions over the Jovian belts, zones, and spots are studied on the basis of high-resolution infrared spectrometric data obtained for 86 areas on the Jovian surface. It is shown that the absorptions increase with increasing air mass between the equator and the poles, that they decrease linearly with increasing air mass between the central meridian and the limbs, and that the absorptions over the South Tropical Zone are greater and those over the Great Red Spot are smaller than the absorptions for other features. An ammonia absorption map of the planet is plotted for the period April-June, 1970.

Airglow fluctuations at 2.2 microns.

The OH airglow has been observed in the infrared, from high altitude sites, with a bandpass filter from 2.0 to 2.5 microns. An average spatial fluctuation of plus or minus 4% and an average time fluctuation of plus or minus 3% are found about the mean nightly level. The evening fluctuations are more pronounced than the morning ones. The brightness and fluctuations are such as to preclude ground-based observation of the zodiacal light with wide-band photometry at this wavelength.

Map of the Galactic Nucleus at 10 Microns

The galactic nucleus was mapped at 10 microns with a resolution of a few arc seconds. Four discrete sources were resolved superimposed on an extended background.

The 100-micron observations of galactic and extragalactic Southern Hemisphere objects

Far-infrared observations of the interstellar medium are reported by a balloon-borne telescope. With the 30-centimeter (12-in.) telescope operating at a wavelength of 100 microns, approximately forty new sources were observed in the galactic plane and in the large Magellanic Cloud. Patterns and some degree of understanding are beginning to emerge from the observations of objects in the far infrared.

Elimination of cloud effects in sensing ozone from 9.6 micron band.

Description of an objective method for extracting the spectral information from the 9.6 micron region pertaining to atmospheric ozone. This method has been developed by examining a large number of Nimbus 4 infrared interferometer-spectrometer spectra. The method is capable of eliminating, not only the effects of clouds, but also those of interference from the reststrahlen bands of desert sands.
